Social Capital & Networks Play Important Role In Legal Career; Lawyers From Marginalised Sections Face Difficulties: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court highlighted that social capital and professional networks are crucial for building a successful legal career. Lawyers from marginalized communities face significant barriers due to a lack of access to influential networks and mentorship, which impacts their professional advancement. The Court noted that systemic inequities and limited opportunities contribute to the challenges faced by these lawyers. Efforts must be made to create a more inclusive environment by addressing these disparities and fostering greater access to resources and support networks for underrepresented groups.
